I’m Not the Heroine

Miara Rimfelt was not dead.
Instead, I found myself wishing to die.

‘Aah…!’

Miara is a beastman. She knows the methods for creating and using powerful drugs that humans are unaware of.
So, I vaguely knew that I wouldn't be able to stop the beastmen’s vision drug with my robes, which were vulnerable in this aspect.

But… the effect is this strong?

“Louis, I’m fine. You were cute, too.”

“Don’t say that…!”

Under the influence of the drug, I found myself shamelessly flirting with Aswell without even realizing it.
If there were a rat hole right there, I’d want to hide in it.

As I kept avoiding his gaze, Aswell suddenly grabbed my face with both hands.

“Louis!”

“Ugh…”

“I really was okay. So please don’t turn your head away anymore.”

When he spoke so seriously, I couldn’t refuse.
In the end, I just ended up pounding my chest in frustration.

“So, you said you didn’t want me to kill you.”

After the situation calmed down, Miara asked me a question.

Honestly, it’s the two people other than me who don’t fully understand the situation.

Aswell suddenly faced an assassin in the middle of the night, and I had asked him to spare the person who had tried to kill him.
On the other hand, Miara, who had come prepared for death, had someone telling her to save her. It must be confusing for her.

‘I need to approach this carefully.’

Unlike with Nia, Aswell’s hostility toward Miara is unimaginable.
Just his keeping his guard up to protect me is already an indication of that.

I need to break through this warrior’s hostility and make sure she fully joins our party.

How should I approach this?

Actually, I had already thought about it to some extent.
